自美国新泽西州的三人乐队Yo La Tengo是为数不多的备受严肃乐评家
推崇的当代乐队之一,根源在于他们音乐上所倡导的冒险的折衷主义
目中无人的独立态度以及无休止的创作野心
.
他们最常被冠以传奇乐队the Velvet Underground继承人的称号
音乐上他们具有与UV同样的试验精神
试图探索出回授主导的噪音摇滚与旋律甜美的流行乐相结合的极限
且他们的作品中常常矛盾的同时折射出沉静的人文气质和狂热的激情
.
来自纽约,却不繁华。源自七、八十年代,却新锐先锋。
如今的音乐鱼龙混杂,如今的网络缤纷异彩,但也许我们需要等待10年
才能再次发现一支可以满足挑剔品味的乐队。所以不如,以怀旧的名义
好好享受一下曾经的经典,体味一下真正的独立。

歌中的吉他,如夏天午后风吹来的慵懒,歌中有淡淡的忧伤,但也有美丽的时光。
i followed you ..foolishly
you were at a smoky bar、you were out til three
sat alone inside my car、it was nearly four
we were gonna wait for you all night
so i locked the door
i was gonna spend the night、coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night、till i went away
remember how you used to say、can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now、i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm、in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car、like it was yesterday
i followed you ..foolishly
you were at a smoky bar、you were out til three
sat alone inside my car、it was nearly four
we were gonna wait for you all night
so i locked the door
i was gonna spend the night、coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night、till i went away
remember how you used to say、can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now、i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm、in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car、like it was yesterday
saw my brother driving by、the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him、but he drove away
saw my sister standing there、standing in rain
then i thought about nothing、that it feels the same
another day、come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time、trailing behind、i thought of you
today is the day i think of you
